I guess you need imperfect vision for this. I have better than 20/20 with perfect color pickup (According to an optometrist at least), I can't see any difference even if I go 20 feet away into my kitchen.

 

Edit: I went about 30 feet down the hall behind me and I started to make out the one with the cat, nothing doing on the first one though, I still see Albert Einstein.

OK can you read the word in this? Don't walk away, just sit at your normal position in front of the computer, and let your eyes relax.

To help you, see the 2 black squares at the top? Relax your focus until you see 3 black squares. Then, you can see the 4-level 3d image. The word is on the 2 top planes, and the background on the back 2 planes.
